Tuohy at Carlton vs Geelong

Has his weaknesses but has been solid overall and played an important role at times. Wish he were banging more through from just outside 50 like he used to on the run with the Blues years ago.

Are we in a Silvagni thread again?
Kennelly compares but just if you look at the stats Tuohy is ahead or at least equal in basically everything.
Tadgh's got his flag of course and you can't downplay that. But given Tuohy is well past him in games played with at least a season and a bit left in the tank (probably two), I don't know how you can definitively put Kennelly ahead.

No, it’s the Tuohy thread.
It does seem astounding that he was discarded for so little when he was performing so well, but we know the reasons why.
Geelong and Tuohy did really well out of his move.

SOS had the biggest hard on for Marchbank.
Took him at 6 when most draft pundits had him in the late teens, then doubled down when he got the list manager's job at Carlton and ended giving up one of our best senior players for a minor pick downgrade to facilitate bringing him in.
In hindsight I'm not sure why he didn't just manufacture some pick swaps to get us a late second round pick. IIRC Marchbank was uncontracted and had played very little footy, and wouldn't have been worth as much to GWS as SOS assumed. I get the impression the trade was wrapped up (theoretically) very early on in the piece.
Can see why Tuohy was aggrieved, but good to see him playing well at Geelong. The model of consistency, versatile, skilful.

Yeah he certainly comes across that way in interviews when he says things like ‘the moustache is to try and help make it look as though I’ve actually got a personality.’
that’s the first thing I think - that this guy loves himself
How cute, you believe what you see on the TV.

aren't you a real glass half empty type. I hope Pickett or whoever you got was worth the trade
You got some history with Zach?
That's what happens when you get coached how to kick the ball, rather than learn from your Dad or mates and pick up all the bad habits.
Irish stuff.

Henderson the more interesting bump. Blues fans just love Lachie.

Agree.
I spose SOS saw Touhy as collateral to get the pieces he needed for players and he didn’t have too much more to deal with at the time. Solid strategy, but the players targeted in this trade were the wrong ones.
Tuohy brings such a hard edge to the Geelong backline. Every team could use one of his type.
Still got a couple of years left in him as well I reckon.
I guess saving grace for Carlton is that Geelong drafted Fogarty with the pick who now plays for the Blues anyway and GWS gave up their second rounder in the deal as well. That being said 2018 second rounders ended up being valuable picks.

I think he's had more natural development at the cats as we parked him as a defender day one. Carlton playing him as a forward all the time was holding him back though it did probably help his development as a defender later.

Yep. We stooged ourselves with this trade. At the time, he was one of our best players. Durable, superb kick, and great competitor. He still is of course.
The rumour was that Sydney wanted him and Zach was interested. They had a bunch of draft picks to trade so the club low-balled Touhy's new deal to push him out.
Touhy then turned around and nominated The Cats, who had almost nothing in the draft pick cupboard. Hence we ended up with steak-knives Smedts. Lang was almost part 2 of that trade. Proof that even Wells makes mistakes, but he learns quickly.
The Blues knew they'd screwed up immediately, and quietly buried their mistake. If he'd gone to Sydney it might have been a different story.

This. We out smarted ourselves and Geelong got a bargain out of it.

Well dangerfield gets judged by all and sundry on that
One of a few players like Sam Jacobs who the footy public had no idea how good they were until they went to another team.
Sos looks like he stuffed this one so far, but won others like Menzel, Yarran and Bell
